Linux Installation

Run the following command in your terminal:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y wget && wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xiv3r/Burpsuite-Professional/main/install.sh | sudo bash

Then run:

burpsuitepro

Setup Licenses

Note: Copy the license from the loader to Burp Suite, then choose manual activation. Copy the Burp Suite request key into the loader request field, then copy the response key back into Burp Suite to complete activation.

Shortcut Launcher (xfce)

Right click the desktop, create a new launcher, and name it Burpsuite Professional. Set the launch command to burpsuitepro and select the Burp Suite community icon.

NixOS Installation

Add this repo's flake to your flake inputs:

# flake.nix
{
  inputs = {
    burpsuitepro = {
      type = "github";
      owner = "xiv3r";
      repo = "Burpsuite-Professional";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  };
}

Installing the package provided by the flake

You can install it with either environment.systemPackages or home.packages.

With environment.systemPackages (nixosModules):

{ inputs, ... }: {
  environment.systemPackages = [
    inputs.burpsuitepro.packages.${system}.default
  ];
}

With home.packages (home-manager):

{ inputs, ... }: {
  home.packages = [
    inputs.burpsuitepro.packages.${system}.default
  ];
}

NOTE: loader.jar is symlinked to burpsuite.jar so Burp Suite recognizes the license keys. The loader command is only accessible from the terminal.

Windows Installation

Create a Burp directory in the C drive for faster access.

Download the installation package from the following link:

Download Burp Suite Professional Installation Package

Extract the downloaded ZIP file and move the contents into the Burp folder on your C drive.

Open PowerShell as administrator and run the following command to set the Script Execution Policy:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy bypass -Scope process

Inside PowerShell, navigate into the Burp folder:

cd C:\Burp

Now execute the install script in PowerShell to complete installation:

./install.ps1

Change the icon of Burp-Suite-Pro.vbs to the provided icon. Create a desktop shortcut by right clicking the file, opening the Shortcut tab, clicking Change Icon, and choosing burp-suite.ico from the Burp folder.

For a Start Menu entry, copy the Burp-Suite-Pro.vbs file to:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\

macOS Installation

Step 1: Install Dependencies with Homebrew

Install Homebrew and the required dependencies (git, openjdk 17):

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install git openjdk@17

Step 2: Run the Installation Script

Clone the Burp Suite Professional repository, download the Burp Suite JAR file, and execute the key generator and Burp Suite:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xiv3r/Burpsuite-Professional/main/install_macos.sh | bash

Step 3: Install the Burp Shortcut

Make the burp script executable and install it globally:

chmod +x burp
sudo cp burp /usr/local/bin/burp

Explanation:

The install script creates a burp script to run Burp Suite with the required Java options.
It uses the current directory to reference the JAR files.
The script is made executable and copied to the system path for global access.

Notes

Run burp from the Burpsuite-Professional directory containing loader.jar and burpsuite_pro_v2025.5.6.jar. For global use, replace the current directory reference with absolute paths.
